Two relevant points to AIS class in this ISACA newseltter.  The first is the software development life cycle 14 steps article that was quite humorous and reinforces the SDLC.  The second was the article right under that about mapping COBIT to COSO.  Nice job explaining that.

This article gives a bit of history about telecommuting, and some examples.  The White House brought this up as a desired practice in March 2010.  With all the tools today, the practice more readily than ever could be used to help ease traffic congestion, pollution, etc.
